that the writer for the characters of Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street wrote them as a gay couple. The show, Sesame Street, disagrees.

The sickness of sexualizing childrens characters like the muppets is typical of the sickness of some people.

I don't think Jim or Jane intended for the muppets to be anything but good examples and sex or sexually was not part of the muppets ideals.

@cherokeepatti I am well versed in the Reisman's and others vs Kinsey/smut/porn/erototoxin subjects.

Because I was a precocious child with a great deal of heterosexual interest it seemed I was a magnet for recruitment by the, shall we say, unscrupulous ones.

You needn't explain. I'm well aware of how they would like to normalize that corruption you are talking about with everyone.

It angers them that many parents try to keep their kids in the clear of it and succeed. I'm glad to know it's not as mainstream as they'd have us all believe if they could.

I wonder if Oscar and Madison were too.

I remember watching Sesame Street when it first came on in the sixties. I never got that out of it, nor do I think that was the original intent. Not everything was supposed to carry some sort of sexual or political undertone. I guess I viewed them more like Oscar Madison and Felix Unger from the Odd Couple.

Well I always figured. I mean they lived together, slept together and did everything together. And they argued and drove each other mad like a good couple does. Good for Bert and Ernie.

I don’t believe they were intended to be gay . Happy , yes , but not homosexuals

@SW-User Any day now! Any day! The bombs will drop and you can dance around outside screaming "I told ya!! Didn't I tell you the end was coming". While your teeth fall out and your skin melts off.
